Cyber security

The Internet has become a critical infrastructure for both businesses and individual users. Growing dependence on networked digital systems has brought with it an increase in both the variety and quantity of cyber-threats.

In addition, the different methods governing secure transactions in the various Member States of the European Union sometimes make it difficult to assess risk and to ensure adequate security.

Standards have a key role to play in protecting the Internet and the communications and business it carries.

ETSI is working closely with relevant stakeholders to develop standards to increase privacy and security for organizations and citizens across Europe and worldwide.

We are looking at providing standards for horizontal and cross-domain applicability, as well as for the security of infrastructures, devices, services and protocols and security tools and techniques. We address the following area:

Horizontal cybersecurity

Privacy by design

Security controls

Network and Information Security, critical infrastructures

Information Security Indicators

Securing technologies and systems

Mobile/Wireless systems (3G/4G, TETRA, DECT, RRS, RFID...)

IoT and Machine-to-Machine (M2M)

Network Functions Virtualisation

Intelligent Transport Systems, Maritime

Broadcasting

Security tools and techniques

Lawful Interception and Retained Data

Digital Signatures and trust service providers

Secure elements

Exchangeable CA/DRM solutions

Cryptography

Work is carried out by many ETSI groups. TC CYBER mainly works on cross-domain cybersecurity while addressing more specific domains or security tools and techniques if not addressed by other ETSI groups.

In addition, TC CYBER serves as a centre of expertise and offers security advice and guidance to users, manufacturers and network and infrastructure operators as well as other ETSI committees.
